This is one where you would like to see the coin in hand to grade it. From the picture there doesn't appear to be any wear. Can't tell how much luster (if any) is there. My gut feeling is MS 62. Agree with FSB.
@coinfrog - agree that the discoloration and dullness in the photo makes this one difficult. AU 58 may be the right call on this. Would love to see it in hand to get a better idea.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

The photo is pretty difficult to get a sense of its surface qualities. I was going for details with that pic.
I shot a minute and change video of the coin. Apologies for the orientation, shot in portrait, youtube converted it to landscape. Details are still there.
I also have three Barber dimes that I received in this lot that are AU/UNC sliders. I'll post those over the coming days. I really appreciate the assistance, folks.
